One of the people I chose to write about was Countee Cullen. I remember that we read some of his poems in class, and they were interesting. He excelled at most all of the things he did, and was very smart. He received his master's degree from Harvard. Later on he was also a teacher like one of the Delany sisters was. His poems influenced many people during this the Harlem Renaissance time, and his poems are famous still today.
Another person who was mentioned in Having Our Say was W.E.B. Du Bois. The sisters actually met him and they played a role in different NAACP activities.
